Biography
Those who encountered Thaleia when she was wearing gloves could consider themselves lucky - underneath were nails as sharp and quick as the talons of an eagle. She kept them pointed like tiny daggers. If she knew she was losing, she was known to throw her gloves to the ground and bare her claws.
